I love a home birth after a Caesarean! Also known as HBAC. If you birth in water, it’s an HWBAC. I’ve had 1 HWBAC and 2 HBAC’s. What I didn’t have was my placenta in any way, by the time of baby no.3 I really could have done with a placenta smoothie followed by placenta pills. So, here are a few tips for birthing your placenta without drugs: 1) Ensure you have an un disturbed labour 2) Catch your baby yourself 3) Be the first to hold your baby 4) Allow no rush or interruptions 5 No hat on the baby 6 No vigorous patting, in fact, probably, non at all 7) Stay in the moment, savouring the sight, smell, touch and feel of your new born 8) Let your body do its job. That’s it for now. But once you placenta is born, why not enjoy a delicious fruity placenta smoothie to start replenishing your energy, iron and vitamin levels in a totally natural, and bio available way? What are your favourite fruits in a smoothie? #nohattingnopattingnochatting #VBAC #WBAC #HWBAC #smoothie #PlacentaSmoothie #HomeBirth #WaterBirth #Syntocinin #Oxytocin #HemeIron #NaturalNutrition #Doula #PlacentaPills

Top 5 of what to consider for your next birth
Public service annoucement: you do not need to get permission to give birth out of your vaginal. You do not 'have to' have a caesarean. It may be recommended but you can chose to accept or decline. Even if you have had two, three, four, five caesareans. #vbac #hbac #birthrightsarehumanrights #caesareanbirth
Not read this book in years... probably since I first trained to be a doula. I’ve just finished the vbac addition to the main Birth Bundle and thought I’d better ensure I’d crossed the ‘i’s and dotted the ‘t’s ... this is the book I give to all my doula clients planning vbacs. I currently have two both of which are planning hbac... that is home birth after a caesarean of which I’ll be doing myself in August... hopefully a HWBAC... that is home water birth after Caesarean. I’m so excited and looking forward to what this journey brings whatever that may be. I cannot wait to hold my new baby in my arms, feed it and cuddle in at night. Much love, Tricia xx
Yesterday morning I had a blissful 90 minutes of massage and reiki from the lovely Emma Kendrick at Bamboo Boutique. From April 1st both of my doula packages will include one of these special pregnancy treatments *squeal* 😃
Truth bomb!
Pinky-purple hair, just call me a doula trendsetter 😁
Now remember boys and girls, when you're colouring your hair DON'T FORGET TO PUT GLOVES ON!! I now have purple hands 😂 #muppet #manicpanic #directions
This is what disappointment looks like today. Trains from Edinburgh to virtually anywhere are cancelled and I can't get down to Birmingham for the first module of the Awakened Birthkeeper course 😭
A really beautiful card from a special friend. Art by Jaine Rose Cards xx
Here are some of the special items that were planted in the pot with the placenta ~ crystals, shells, some precious drops of essential oils, preserved flowers from Allison's mother blessing crown xx
